Workflow Error Notifications

Receive a notification for whenever one of my workflows encounters an error.

This would avoid missing leads in real time due to undetected errors.

👋 Everyone,

 

Workflow Issue Notifications is now live for all Enterprise customers. You can receive notifications of workflow issues via Slack, Email, Facebook Workplace, MS Teams, Mobile, Browser, or with In-app notifications on a per workflow basis. As a result, less business critical workflows can continue to be managed through the workflows Needs Review tab, but users can receive notifications for higher priority workflow issues every time they occur, or after as set period of time defined by the user. Workflow notifications are available in Enterprise-level HubSpot portals.

 

Two steps are needed for an account to receive this notification: notification recipients need to be selected per workflow, and those recipients need to opt-in to that notification per channel.

 

For the first step, to turn on issue notifications for a workflow, users will go to Workflows > Settings and notifications > Notifications tab. Then they'll set select the desired individuals or teams that will receive notifications for that workflow. Lastly, they'll turn the When Workflow Needs Review toggle to On.

 

For the second step, in order for each of those recipient to receive this notification, they will need to opt-in to one or more notification channels. To do so, users will first go to Settings > Your preferences > Notifications. Then will select the tab for a notification channels Email, Desktop, or Slack.

 

Then, to opt-in for this notification within each desired channel, users will expand the Workflows accordion. Within that accordion, users will check the checkbox next to When a workflow needs review.

 

For more information on setting up user notifications, check out this knowledge article.

 

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback on workflow issue notifications! 

 

Best,

Jess

👋 Everyone,

 

We released the next iteration of workflow issue/error management to public beta last week. With this update you can set preferences for the types of workflow issues you want to monitor. You can choose to ignore trivial issues indefinitely, while critical issues can be set for review every time they occur. You can also set preferences to review specific workflow issues on certain dates or after set time periods. The preferences you set will determine what shows up for review on the tab on the main workflows page. We expect this feature to go to an automated rollout for everyone begin using it next week. If you would like to join the public beta this week, go to Product Updates > Early Access > [Public Beta] Workflows - Issue Details Panel with Reminders.

The next iteration of workflow issue/error management is workflow notifications.

 

Question regarding workflow notifications for anyone who would like to share feedback: Is there a prefered channel through which you would like to receive notifications about workflow issues?  Slack, email, in-app, mobile app, any other channels? I appreciate your feedback!

 

Thank you,

Jess

Hi, Everyone,

We are working on a series of error management improvements in 2023,
including notifications. The first improvement (it's not notifications)
will be out of beta and available to everyone next week. It includes
additional information about workflows with errors, along with the ability
to clear the workflow from the workflows with errors list
<>.
Error Notifications is coming - I will definitely update this group with
beta details when it's ready. I appreciate all your insights and patience.

Best,
Jess

Our team is currently evaluating the best way to notify users about workflow events. If anyone would be interested in speaking with us (the product team) about their use case, feel free to send me a direct message and we can set up some time to talk!

Hi @Herschel. Thanks for the reply here. I had an itchy finger on that one and saved before it was ready.

 

Just to note here, this status does not mean that the idea is rejected. It just means that we have reviewed it, but have not prioritized it in our roadmap. We will update this thread if that changes.

Hi HubSpot Community,

 

Thank you for taking the time to contribute and vote on this idea. We don't currently have this specific feature planned, but we are currently looking at ways to improve our error and alerts system. The current path is to help surface these better in-app. If anyone would like to be a part of the beta when it is available, please let us know.

 

Thank you,

Jesse

Hello @JHartnagle . Checking to see if there have been any updates to add this to the roadmap? We just experienced a pretty major issue due to a workflow error flying under the radar.

Hi @JHartnagle - we would appreciate notifications about workflow issues via email, in-app and Slack - email being the most urgent one needed.

Hi @JHartnagle ,
we would use the notification via email.
I tried to activate the public beta in our Marketing Enterprise account. However, I dont see the button for it. Is it already live?

Sorry I'm not sure where to access this "If you would like to join the public beta this week, go to Product Updates > Early Access > [Public Beta] Workflows - Issue Details Panel with Reminders.

 

Is that within our HS account?

Hello @JHartnagle ,
is the feature in development to get an email notification, when a workflow throws an error? 
I currently see in the beta that while checking the worklow errors to set a notification, if this kind of error happens again. I am looking for a timely notification as soon as a workflow error appears. 
Best regards, Deborah

Hi @JHartnagle I'm not seeing this in the list of betas. I would like to be notified by email when any of my workflows encounters an issue. Is this feature available yet?

Yes, this would be great! I would 100% use this feature.
